and we don't think we have ever
seen an older and more experienced
crowd enter into it with any more
grace and enjoyment than was
manifested by the little folks.
Later in the evening came the
refreshments. and although there
was a quantity. still it was not lack

JOBBERS ARE lNCENSED
At the Treatment Which They Allege
Is Given Their Guests.
A MEETING TO BE CALLED.
Country Merchants Insulted by Man
"a, Employed to Be Cour-
81, teous.

Iii accordance with its custom, the job
bets association has fitted up room in
thetT Temple Court for the purpose of re-
ceiHing and entertaining the visiting
merchants and making their stay a
pleasant one. The association purchases
tickets to the Exposition and presents
them to merchants as a compliment.
Some one has placed in charge of this
room H. K. Pratt, formerly of the
firm of Pratt, Gilman & Fran
els. the bankrupt fruit commission
house. Who placed him there an
indignant committee of jobbers will
now endeavor to ascertain. They claim
that not only was his appointment in
discreet, but that he has insulted guests
of the association and is turning his po-
sitiOn to his own credit. A more thor
Oughly wOrked-up set of men than this
committee would have been difficult to
find, and when a GLOBE reporter. saw
them yesterday. in company with the
country merchants claimed to have been
insulted, they were boiling over.
81 am outraged and indignant" said
Joseph Paris, of Paris, Murton & Co.,
''at the. conduct of Pratt. He has de-
liberately insulted customer of ours,
Mr.. Sprague, of Sprague Bros, Graf
ton, Oak. Not only this, but he also in
suited Mr.. Hickox, of Branum &,
HiskOx, of Litchfield. He gave him
tickets to the Exposition and gave them
as a personal favor from himself.
Pratt is the employee of the association,
but is working himself in with these
men instead of doing the business he is
paid for'
1.-THE placing of Pratt in this position
is most internal outrage" said Joseph
JepsOn. ''and thu. .asSociation will regret
it. Why, it he were to go to New York
he would join Neethe in the Ludlow
street Jail in twinkling. That firm is
the first first-clasS commission house
that ever broke up owing all its neigh
bors. Twenty commission men will
join me in cOndemning this"
Mr.. Sprague, the gentleman alluded
to above, is merchant at Grafton and
went to the headquarters at the request
greeted him with
81 believe you're the man 1 had some
trouble with once"
Eyes, you did," responded Mr..
Sprague. "You sent us some bad fruit
and we would not pay for it,"
Pratt then said he was selling fruit
for all the fruit men in Minneapolis,
and wanted to sell Sprague some, and
wound up by offering him tickets to the
fair as a personal accommodation. This
latter is what he is said to have done to
Mr.. HickOx, who is merchant and ell
titled to all the cOurtesies of the head
quarters. He told Mr.. Paris that Pratt
said to him:
81 never gave you any presents and
now [ am going to give you one. Here
are tickets to the fair and Exposition"
Last evening committee from sew
eral houses called at the GLOBE office in
reference to the affair. They said it was
giving the JObbers' association a bad
Send-off and should be remedied at once.
Their language was very much stronger
than any used here and decidedly more
emphatic. A meeting of the association
will be called at once.

Brave Nina Matthews.

Shelter Island Special to New Yorksun.
A valuable gold and jeweled locket,
subscribed for by the guests of the Man
hanset house, has been presented to
Miss Nina Matthews, of st. Louis, for
an act of herOism performed by her ON
July Goth. On that day George G. Balm,
a young journalist, of st. Louis, was
bathing in Deering Harbor, when
wave carried him beyond his depth.
Being unable to swim, he was about to
sink, when Miss Matthews, who was
swimming only short distance away,
noticed his helpless condition, and
quickly went to his rescue. Balm was
almost at the bottom when Miss Mat
thews caught hold of his right arm and
bravely struck out for the shore, which
she reached safely, but greatly .ex-
hausted, with her heavy burden. in tow.
Both were resuScitated after much ex-
ertion. Miss Matthews is only II years
OF age. She is petite, weighing abo
so pounds, while the young man whose
life she saved is five feet ten inches in
height, and weighs over 150 pounds.
The locket bears suitable inscription
and Miss Matthews's initials.

A SINGULAR SUIT.
Can the City Be Garnisheed?-
District Court Cases.

Can the City Be Garnisheed?---
District Court Cases.
A peculiar case was heard before
Judge Young yesterday morning. The
attorneys for the city of Minneapolis
argued for demurrer in a suit brought
by Emil Engel against the city to obtain
possession of property belonging to NJ.
Philbin & Co. now in possession
of the city, AS the city cannot
be subjected to a garniShee, and
as the plaintiff by reason of the equit-
able action brought to subject the prop
erty in the city'S possession to the pay
ment of third party'S debt, the plain
tiff valves any claim to remedy which
he might have under the bond. The
questions presented are very unique
and Judge Young was unable to decide
the action, but took it under advise
ment.
The Wagner case bobbed up again
yesterday morning before Judge Hicks.
In 1885 Amelia had obtained a limited
divorce from her husband and alimOny
of SIC per month. For the last two
years Mr.. Wagner had allowed the ali
mony to lapse, and yesterdays suit was
to obtain the alimony that was due.
Judge Hicks decided that money
amounting to S4O0 must be paid and
Wagner adjudged guilty of contempt of
court and be punished by confinement
in the county Jail for thirty days, or
until the alimony shall be paid.
a decision was filed yesterday in the
district court in favor of George r.
French against John r. Schuyler, for
the sum of $1,000. 1t seems that last
July French was arrested for stealing
horse and buggy and locked up without
bail until Monday morning. The pres
ent suit was brought to recover damages
for malicious prosecution.
Kate A. TOmpkins commenced suit
against P. B. Christianson to recover
$4,000 on pr0misso1y note.
Judge LOchren granted a divorce to
Martha Stone from her husband, e. w.
Stone, on the grounds of desertion and
cruelty.
Edmund w. Parkinson was not able
to bring sufficient evidence yesterday to
secure a divorce from his wife Ida, and
the ease was dismissed.
